"I work within a relational psychoanalytic framework. That means I hold a theory of psychotherapy based an understanding of the human mind as integrally connected to the significant relationships in our life, going back to early childhood, and the ways those relationships shape our sense of self. Your task is to express yourself freely, mine to listen with a commitment to understanding you without judgement, attending to the whole of your experience. Over time, I believe it is this experience of being seen, heard and understood which creates the possibility for recovery, growth, and transformation."

"We all need special attention at times in our lives. Working on emotional problems by yourself can be hard, even when you have support in your life. If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed or are searching for self-understanding, therapy is an excellent choice. Just as finding the deeper meaning in suffering may be important, sometimes simply solving day to day practical issues is as well. Either way, the value of inner work far exceeds what we can imagine."

"I believe one of the first steps in therapy is to articulate clear goals so that we can most effectively address your specific needs and struggles. We will do this by productively exploring the dynamic terrain of your relationships - to your emotions, thoughts, behavior, and also to others. This is done in a non-judgmental, safe and creative environment. Eventually, this productive and flexible environment which we foster together, can replace less effective ways of relating to your self as well as to others in the different arenas of your life."

"Life can present us with challenges that we're not prepared for. Underlying issues can make it very difficult to cope at these times. In some cases, you may be experiencing difficult moods -- anger or irritability, depression or anxiety, sadness, grief. Some other reasons my clients come to counseling include relationship troubles (e.g., romantic, family, friends), unresolved trauma, demanding life transitions, stubborn self-defeating patterns, and low self-esteem that is undermining their lives. Psychotherapy can help you move through these challenges with better outcomes and more confidence. It's noteworthy that I work with most PPO insurance plans."

"A good therapy session should feel emotional and immediate, yet grounded in the past so one can understand and feel old experiences in new ways. Sometimes there is laughter and sometimes there are tears. A good therapy session feels alive and feels satisfying."

"My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in a deep respect for the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Suffering is a uniquely individual experience. You may be feeling a profound sense of loneliness, unable to relate to others or finding difficulty fitting in. Perhaps depression and anxiety are preventing you from feeling fully engaged in important relationships or your relationships unravel. You may find it difficult to be kind or patient with yourself. I work with adult individuals and couples who are seeking help with relationship/intimacy issues, depression/anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and loss."

"Therapy might be a way for you to travel to yourself. It might provide you with new eyes for looking at an old image. And with the possible feeling that there is a way to let your guard down, untie your knots, and create new patterns. You might also find freedom in the cultivation of a wider and more balanced scale of emotions that includes joy, ire, sadness, rapture, and many more. Therapy might also show you that in addition to enduring life, you might also be fully alive."
